The car can actually raise its front to go over bumps, they removed the time just because it would have never been beaten by anything road legal (it still hasn’t).
Ben Collins' greatest moment... He wants to bring that Praga thing he's been punting around every track and finally break the record before they tear the old track up. I hope he gets the chance.
The fact that to this today the T1's lap still hasn't been beaten is pretty incredible. Heck the Atom V8 was 5 seconds slower than the T1. If they had allowed it's lap to remain on the board it would remove all possible tension of "will this car put in a time that would make it number 1." Then again imagine the flip side where one day a car did beat the T1's time now that would be an incredible moment.
some say the atom V8 was a bit of a show car, yes it does produce 500 HP, but the wing was a bit useless in reality and T1 IS a race car with number plate, which is pretty much another interpretation of the Radical
@@MrSilnev yeah, the t1 is the most rapid road car to this day. Since 2007, that's quite an achievement. Would like to see what a modern ultima gtr could do. There's one with 1200bhp in the works. Would love to see that lap time next to the t1s.

No, they're not. The project got cancelled after Caparo plc, the parent company that also owned steelworks and what have you, got put into administration and the CEO committed suicide.
Anyone else have Clarkson in the caparo playing instead of the stigs lap? The timeline shows the actual video but its playing something different (Clarkson testing it) Refreshed and everything
the video showing is not the same video that is sounding in the background and the one i see in fast forward. seeing a bbc story on it and not top gear.
And the video shows something completelly diffrent from what the audio is describing. I think this is the correct one: ruclips.net/video/ZFcanpNarEg/видео.html
What are you talking about? plenty of cars have been just as fast or faster than this. The Zonda R alone was 2 whole seconds faster.... and that car is actually resemblance towards an actual "production" car and is far easier to drive, and that car came out in 2010.
Does it have actively controlled airfoils? Active aero that's automatically operated by a computer taking info from numerous sensors on the car can do amazing things. Go almost full vertical to add air braking power to save the brakes. Lay flat for reduced drag on the straights, then angle up to increase downforce as it's needed in corners. But it can also be metered at each wheel. That provides more downforce on the inside of the car than the outside, thus equalizing the grip on all four tires. But front and rear wings can also adjust to level the car under braking and accelerating. There is no reason to not have that feature on a street car except for cost.

No idea i mean its costs 235 000 pounds its got normal road tyres and its road legal i think he said it cant raise its nose to get over speed bumps but i think the T1 can get over speed bumps
Amazing car. I love the idea of a F1 car for the road. It's a shame it was removed from the board. Instead of being removed from the board, it should have gone on a separate, specially-made board.
Grip through down force terrifies me, give me all-wheel drive and a rear spoiler to match and call it a day, that way I won't have to be so concerned with how fast I'm going
Even the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione went round the track at 1.10.7. Again, it was removed from the board because it was a track-only car and you couldn't actually own one.
a list with those cars -and that guy that flew around the track in a friggin harrier- does indeed exist. it is available on Wikipedia on the page that also lists the official board.
Straatham Actually they made a working prototype, and it did work. It had a twin turbo V6 (unknown displacement: not specified) and a closed cockpit almost fully carbon fiber design. The actual windshield was made of ultralight plastic. It cut down about 10 seconds on (2010) modern day formula cars! But thank you for doing research: it shows that some people do care.
No its not the rule for the board is that the car has to be high enough to get over a speed bump (otherwise known as a "sleeping policeman"). At the end Jeremy is saying the front end of the Caparo is way too low to get over a speedbump without damaging the car.
You know, Caparo actually complained about this. Apparently the car they gave Top Gear was able to lift its front nose and go over a speed bump. Maybe Top Gear doesn't count that or something. If they let things like the BAC mono on, then the T1 should have stayed on.
Whoops, I was actually wrong. I was just looking at stuff on the T1 and the car top gear got didn't have adjustable height. The final models that were sold they did. Kind of funny to think about that. If it had stayed on, it would have actually helped advertise it a lot. There is a reason why Koeningsegg tried so hard to get to the top. You could argue that not giving Top Gear a model that can go over speed bumps might've hurt them quite a bit.
I took that to literal. I though that they would actually be able to drive over a policeman, so I thought how they could put all the other cars on the board. (Non-native-english speaker)
@@turboonz1229 So did Schumaker at 1:10.7 in the FXX. At least the Ultima can pass as a road car with two proper seats and do continental journeys. The Caparo wouldn't even make the ramps at the ferry. Might be road legal but basically a track special that didn't sell, the firm going bust in 2015. Current Ultima RS on treads could well shred the previous 1:09.9.
@@peebeedee6757 Actually, the T1 has adjustable suspension which wasn’t included in the prototype that was used in that episode. Since that car was a prototype, the production version could also shred the 1:10.6 time set by the T1. Also there’s the Race Extreme version which has better cornering forces of 3.5Gs
not just faster than the ffx ferrari. It's faster than the FFX ferrari driven by Michael friggin Schumacher (yes, Schumacher was the Stig for that one episode because one does not simply drive a Ferrari like that)

this is the fastest road legal car that appeared on the show. Period. the ones under that are race versions and not road legal. Zonda R included.

I think the Stig here might be Michael Schumacher or Fernando Alonso judging by the twitchy steering and the rotation of the car.
Put a fan on the back of it, make it a fan-car, problem solved. Red Bull Racing did it with the X1, so it works!
